Game console

[Bogdan Mocanu]

Hi do you guy remeber those old games that you get to play with a stick similar to this:https://www.google.ro/search?q=8+bit+consoles&sa=X&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&ei=QbyPUoO1C4T44QTzg4GADw&ved=0CGsQsAQ&biw=1440&bih=774#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=yO24e3UdvLC4OM%3A%3B98IxgqHWsuzUeM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fupload.wikimedia.org%252Fwikipedia%252Fcommons%252F3%252F33%252FAtari-2600-Joystick.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fen.wikipedia.org%252Fwiki%252FHistory_of_video_game_consoles_(second_generation)%3B2480%3B2560

My question to you,is what components do I need to create a almoust similar console,that can allow better graphichs?
Please tell me where can I buy the parts?

This is more of a Beginners question.

You could go 32-bit, or you could stick with 8/16-bit. 8 and 16 bit consoles usually require you to program directly in assembler. I'm assuming you don't want to make every game in assembler.

So, you can just get a hold of a breadboard, and wire up a simple motherboard with a 32-bit processor. After that, program that with assembler (or get some open source code off the web), then you can get some sort of C/++ compiler and write in that. You may have to occasionally switch back to assembler to do some high performance things.

So yea, it requires a lot of assembler and hardware-level knowledge.
